Hi all,
Im very excited to share this cake. I’ve grown up baking cookies of all kinds but I’ve never had a go at making my own cake.
My fiancé was named Owyn, but he unfortunately passed away last year in a tragic accident. But I’ve decided to start cake baking so that each year I can honour him on his birthday.
He was a phenomenal chef and was always trying to inspire me in the kitchen. I’ve spent a lot of my time recently avoiding the kitchen, as it was one of the places we got to spend the best time together, so this is a massive milestone for me in many ways.
We also loved Harry Potter, and used to read them out loud to each other every night before bed. So Hagrid’s cake felt like the perfect place to start.
I made a chocolate orange cake with butterscotch icing. I still have lots to learn but I’m excited and proud to have found a new hobby for myself.
Sorry for the sappy post, and I hope to add in more advanced cakes soon.
